Rory Gets his WIN!

A big CONGRATS to Rory McIlroy at age 23, has won the PGA Championship! And yes, this catapulted Rors back into the World Number 1 spot once again. He is 2nd in the FedEx Cup standings just behind Tiger Woods, who has held the spot for two consecutive weeks.

This young Gent is not only rich in money terms but remains rich in his strong family ties that certainly keep him grounded. Born in Holywood, Northern Ireland, he still calls this home. Tears come to my eyes when I see him hug his Dad after a win.

Longtime girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki continues through a bit of a slump in her respective sport of Tennis. For a brief time last year, they were both #1 in their sports, but that wasn't to last like their relationship has. In fact, critics claimed his high profile relationship with the Danish tennis star was causing him to lose focus of his golf game. He was never more happy to have proved those critics wrong with his win at Sunday's PGA Championship! Everyone is always looking at something to blame a slump on but hey; you're just not "on" all the time. If that were the case, there would always be the same winner week after week after week.

Just under the $5 million mark for 2012 thus far and over $10 million to date career earnings, he is a competitor to be reckoned with! Rory won Sunday's PGA Championship by 8 strokes, yes I said 8 strokes! This is Rory's 2nd win on the PGA Tour this year after his first came at The Honda Classic back in March. He was in a Playoff at the Wells Fargo in May and in between all of this had 3 missed cuts.  Finishing in a tie for 5th at the Bridgestone-Invitational, he fired two rounds of 67!

A popular Lad to say the least, with 1,204.966 followers on Twitter! You can follow him if you're not already, via @McIlroyRory . He also has accounts on WhoSay, Tencent & Facebook.

So, Congrats Rors......keep up doing your own thing!
